Custom 500 Matt Black Dlx

Bell, an American brand that has been synonymous with excellence for over 50 years, is reissuing its legendary jet helmet, once known as the Bell 500 RT - in tribute to the Indy 500 race - under the name Custom 500.

So, a word to 60s and 70s enthusiasts and Steve McQueen fans - who wore it and thus helped make it legendary - the Bell Custom 500 jet helmet has a real taste of nostalgia.

With a classic vintage look and a highly modern design, it features a shell that benefits from the in-house "Twin Shell System" technology, which consists of a composite fiber shell - for weight reduction and better shock absorption - covered with a thin technopolymer layer - highly resistant to abrasion.

Bell designs this helmet with no fewer than 5 different shell and EPS sizes, an incredible number for a jet helmet of this type, allowing it to offer a weight and volume perfectly proportional to the wearer's build and limiting the well-known "lightbulb head" effect of this type of helmet.

Of high design, it boasts a truly remarkable finish - interior trimmed with leather and "Made in Italy" fabric, a perfect fit to the wearer's head and, true to its historical era, the Bell Custom 500 has no visor, but you can purchase a clear or smoked one with snap buttons, available on iCasque.com. Likewise, you can add a peak to your Custom 500, which is available as an option on iCasque.com.
